Chapter 341: Marriage Event
The civil servant didn't expect Gao Shun to be so straightforward. He didn't even give him a chance to say some polite words, and was embarrassed for a while.
When everyone saw the civil official's behavior, they knew that their general was very knowledgeable about events, and they had guessed the civil official's intention.
A hint of pride flashed across the corner of Gao Shun's mouth.
He knows Jin Tian very well. This blue-eyed man who is very good at maneuvering will be arrogant when he is strong. When he is weak, he will be groveling. He is capable of bending and stretching. He is really like Goujian.
Under this current situation, the offensive and defensive momentum on the Yangtze River has been reversed. It is normal for Jin Tian to put down his face and seek peace.
The civil servant was embarrassed for a moment and said with a smile: "There is no enmity between the Jin and Gao families. The previous conflicts were just misunderstandings. My general has always admired General Gao. I am sending this official here just because I want to fight with him."
General Gao turned a thousand swords into jade, and the two families ceased fighting and made peace from then on."
"My general's 50,000-strong army can march eastward at any time and anywhere and defeat North Korea in one fell swoop. Jin Tian wants to make peace with me. I wonder what capital he has to make peace with me."
Gao Shun gave no face to the civil servants, and his cold and arrogant words revealed his ambition to wipe out North Korea.
The civil servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile: "It's like this. My general has a sister who is very beautiful and virtuous. The general wanted to marry this sister to the general to show that our general is a good man."
sincerity."
Hearing this, not only Gao Shun, but also everyone present looked at him, all surprised by Jin Tian's suggestion.
Gao Shun laughed, thinking that Jin Tian was not only thick-skinned, but also very insidious. He wanted to learn from the historical methods of dealing with Liu Bei and use a honey trap for himself.
With a sneer, Gao said by the way: "So Jin Tian still has such good intentions, so I would like to ask where his stunning sister is now?"
"Well..." Another drop of cold sweat rolled down the civilian official's forehead, and he said sarcastically: "Princess Jin is in Dukou City now. I think the general should know about it."
"What, Princess Jin is competing in the city, why didn't I know about it? Do you know?"
Gao Shun knew clearly that the Princess Jin the civil official was referring to was the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin, but he deliberately pretended not to know.
Zhang Bao suppressed his laughter, cupped his hands and said: "General Qi, I will guess that the Princess Lu mentioned by this Lu is probably the Princess Jin who was captured by the General himself outside the city of Dukou that day."
Only then did Gao Shun suddenly realize, and turned his eyes to the civil servant, "I have remembered, could it be that the girl you are referring to is the girl named Jin Guozhu."
"Exactly, exactly." the civil servant said hurriedly.
"Crack!"
Gao Shun suddenly slapped the table, his expression suddenly became stern, and murderous intent burst out from his knife-like eyes.
The civil servant shivered with fright, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Gao Shun stared at him and said in a deep voice: "The woman named Jin is my trophy. I can do with her whatever I want. Jin Tian wants to use something that belongs to me in exchange for peace."
, he is really sincere."
Gao Shun's power and anger made the civil servant tremble all over, and in the blink of an eye there was a layer of cold sweat on his back.
The "matchmaker" from East Korea took a few deep breaths, tried her best to calm down her nervous mood, and said: "General Gao, calm down, my general's sincerity can be seen from the sun and the moon. If General Gao is willing to make peace, my general can follow
From the Jin clan, choose another daughter to marry the general."
The civil servants responded quickly and made temporary adjustments to Jin Tian's decision.
Gao Shun's solemn expression softened a bit, "I have many beauties, so why would I care about the women of the Jin family? If Jin Tianzhen is sincere, I will indeed have a woman he likes in North Korea."
The civil servant was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I wonder who is so lucky to be favored by the general."
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Gao Shun's lips, and he said slowly: "I heard that the mother of your general, Chaoshan, has been a widow for many years. I might consider taking her as my concubine. I wonder if Jin Tian is willing."
As soon as this statement came out, the civil official's expression changed drastically.
He never expected that the woman Gao Shun Jingran was referring to was their North Korean crown prince.
Although the royal queen of Joseon has several sons of the Kim family, she is only thirty-five years old. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have no problem remarrying at this age.
But the Joseon family was the mother of a dignified Joseon marquis. If Jin Tian gave his mother to Gao Shun as a concubine, wouldn't he become Gao Shun's son? If so, I'm afraid that without Gao Shun's attack, the entire Korean people would be against Jin.
Heaven has despised him so much that when people's hearts are broken, who will still be willing to serve him?
This condition is simply a great insult to Jin Tian.
Gao Shun just wants to insult Jin Tian. This capricious blue-eyed kid has been arrogant and bullied towards him for a long time. Today, the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed. If Gao Shun does not humiliate Jin Tian happily, he will not be called Gao Shun.
.
The civil servant who humiliated his ministers and felt that he had been greatly humiliated could no longer bear it and became furious.
At that moment, his expression darkened and he said sternly: "General Gao, my general is sincerely seeking peace. If General Gao insists on insulting each other and has no intention of making peace, we, the millions of people in Korea, would rather fight to the death than suffer this."
What a shame and humiliation.”
Facing the civil servant's awe-inspiring righteousness, Gao Shun also planned to break up his face. At this moment, Zhuge Liang on the side gave him a wink.
Gao Shun was so smart that he understood what Zhuge Liang meant just after seeing his eyes.
Thoughts are whirling and a plan has been hatched.
Gao Shun immediately burst out laughing, "There are indeed many righteous people in North Korea. I was just joking. Why should you take it seriously?"
The civil servant's anger was instantly suppressed by Gao Shun. He was confused by Gao Shun's unpredictable attitude. He was not angry at the moment, nor was he not angry at all. He didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhuge Liang said: "General, I see that the Marquis of Chosun is quite sincere. The general is broad-minded, so I will accept the Marquis of Chosun's kindness. The two families will be married together. From now on, Dukou City will be the boundary.
If we don't invade each other, wouldn't it be a blessing for the people of the two states?"
Hearing this, the civil servant also forgot about the previous humiliation and said hurriedly: "What Mr. Wen He said is absolutely true. This is exactly what my general meant."
Given the current situation, there is no need for Gao Shun to marry and make peace with Jin Tian, but since Zhuge Liang said so, there must be truth to it.
Gao Shun cooperated with Zhuge Liang and pretended to think about it.
At this time, Zhuge Liang stood up and approached the civil servant, and whispered: "You haven't figured out what my general means. If the Marquis of Chaoshan marries his sister, how can she be worthy of being the Marquis of Chaoshan and the head of a state if she doesn't accompany her with some dowry?"
The civil servant was startled and immediately understood what Gao Shun meant. He was asking for money.
"I don't know how much dowry General Gao needs to be satisfied?" The civil servant also asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice.
Zhuge Liang pretended to think for a while, and then said with a faint smile: "The dowry is just superficial, that's what it means. There is no need to give too much. I think the North Korean Marquis will give a hundred catties of gold, which is twenty million."
One hundred catties of gold, twenty million dollars!
The civil servant's heart skipped a beat. He was shocked to think that you were a lion and thought that I, North Korea, was being taken advantage of.
"Isn't this a little too..."
When the civil servants were still thinking about discussing, Zhuge Liang had already raised his hand and said loudly: "General, Mr. Lu said that if the general is willing to take Princess Jin as his concubine, the Marquis of North Korea is willing to give one hundred catties of gold and 20 million yuan as a dowry."
The civil servant was surprised again and said to himself: This is the price you offered. When did I agree? Aren't you cheating me? One hundred catties of gold, twenty million yuan, this amount is very important for someone who owns a state.
For Jin Tian, it is not enough to break the bones, but it cannot be said to be a small amount.
But when he was defeated and forced to marry his sister, and then used such a huge amount of money as a dowry, in the eyes of the world, Jin Tian was completely bowing to Gao Shun.
The civil servant originally planned to bargain with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was so "cunning" that he made an announcement in front of everyone before he opened his mouth.
When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately said: "I didn't expect Jin Zhongmou to be so generous. Very good. This is sincerity. I have agreed to this marriage."
Gao Shun did not give the civil servants a chance to bargain and made an immediate decision.
The civil servants were both happy and worried. They were happy that Gao Shun agreed to marry him, but they were worried about the huge dowry.
"General Gao has a broad mind. He is really a blessing to the people of the two states. It's just the amount of the dowry..." The civil servant hesitated to nod, and there was still a hint of counter-offer.
Gao Shun waved his hand and said: "Jin Zhongmou's dowry is enough. Of course, if he wants to add tens of millions more, I won't mind."
The civil servant panicked as soon as he heard this, fearing that Gao Shun would increase the price again if there was any delay.
"One hundred catties of gold, twenty million dollars, that's what we've agreed upon. Don't worry, general, I won't lose a penny in Korea." The civil servant promised.
Gao Shun secretly laughed in his heart and glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was stroking his beard and smiling, thinking that this old poisonous man really knew how to "blackmail".
"This matter has been settled. I will give you ten days. Within ten days, if you deliver the dowry, I will withdraw my troops back to Jingzhou, and our two families will make peace. Within ten days, if I
If I don't see your sincerity, I will personally lead an army to Moling's treasury to get it."
After the "blackmail" was completed, Gao Shun didn't bother to say anything and issued an eviction order in an ultimatum-like tone.
The civil servant was frightened when he heard this. He broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to stay any longer. He left respectfully and fled in despair with this "unequal treaty".
As soon as the civil servant left, Jin Biao couldn't help but said: "General, twenty million dollars is indeed a windfall, but with all due respect, if we make peace with Jin Tian with just this money, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses."
"How do you say this?" Gao Shun became interested and asked.
"Although Dukou City is under control, the counties of Xunyang in the north of the Yangtze River are still in the hands of the Jin family. Pingcheng in the south is not owned by me, and the Pyongyang Fortress and Dukou City are only separated by dozens of miles of water. Dukou City is actually still located on three sides of the North Korean army.
